What are Ownership and Usage Rights?
PSE, Inc. retains the copyright to any and all artwork generated by PSE, Inc. This includes artwork based upon client-submitted material. (See fig. 2) (fig. 2) Usage Rights vary on a job-by-job basis, the details of which are agreed to by the client and the PSE, Inc. sales rep. For example, a client commissions PSE to produce artwork for, and to print, a t-shirt order. Later, the customer decides to have stickers made using the same artwork. However, unless this secondary use was agreed to when the artwork was originally commissioned, the client must consider the sticker’ job as a new job requiring its own Usage Agreement. Clients may purchase ownership of the commissioned artwork. In which case they are free to do whatever they care to with the artwork. Including having it printed by a printer of their choosing.
